With PGP NetShare, authorized users can save and share encrypted files, with no change required to applications or user behavior. Content such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, video and audio is automatically encrypted when saved by a PGP NetShare-protected application or to a PGP NetShare-protected folder. The content remains encrypted if copied to another drive or archived to backup media. PGP NetShare performs the encryption operations on the client and does not require installation of any software on the file share server. As a result, there is no performance change to the file server.
